Question	—	Energy beam pierces 200m thick steel wall. What happens next? With a powered-by-phlebotinum (ergo very handy, very powerful) rifle, I am able to shoot high-energy beams which, in turn, can pulverize anything in their path in a considerable radius. The beams can travel very far in open air, and pierce every material known to man. They transmit mostly kinetic ene... (more)	—	about 6 years ago
Question	—	Can my synthetic human grow? I'm an advanced AI in far futuristic sci-fi setting. To give you the size of how advanced we are, I'll just drop here a short list of our accomplishments: We have discovered cold fission-reactors and mastered all the other known forms of energy We have high tech robotics, both on large scale (enor...

Answer	—	A: How can waste from the body be removed without being expelled from the anus? What little waste remains after digestion is excreted through superficial tissues, like hair, toenails, and the skin. Elves are so much better at breaking down food that they can produce new cells at a faster rate. Instead of accumulating in the guts, the residual waste is broken down in small piece...

Answer	—	A: Could a tetrapod evolve from a hexapod? Yes, what you are looking for has already happened (as @Christmas Snow and other mentioned, snakes are the brightest example). We humans have undergone a similar process when we lost the tail (you may want to look for vestigial organs, like the said tail-bone). There are examples of creatures emerg...

Answer	—	A: How to escape from a Tayan's maw? I'm adding to Separatrix answer: Escape to the ground I'd rather be in a tunnel than inside some giant internal organ digesting me, so a solution could be opening a way through the Tayan tissues to the underground. What happens then? Cutting through the internal organs to the outer skin should be... (more)	—	about 6 years ago
Answer	—	A: Would Martial Arts be useful for an intelligent, powerful, quadrupedal animal? Yes, and after all, why not. Non-sentient animals have already some form of combat practice coded-in their genome or they learn in in their life (e.g., wolf who hunts in packs or lunge for the throat of the prey, male deers who compete with their antlers, and so on). This is not comparable to marti... (more)	—	about 7 years ago
Answer	—	A: What possible scientific reasons could there be for a vampire to only be killable via wooden stake to the heart? I agree with @Separatrix that the wooden part may be optional. From a pseudo-scientific point of view, staking the heart may be used to stop the vampire from regenerating. As cutting the head off lets you eliminate the brain of the vampire and kills of the body, stopping the heart may stop the vamp... (more)	—	about 7 years ago
Answer	—	A: Technology that steals memories You will have to make some assumption of sorts about how memory is stored inside the human brain. At the moment, we are far from having a scientific agreement on the matter: some hypotesis involve synapses, certain memory-specific brain areas and even the single neurons themselves. As a writer, thou... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
